You might be able to cast from shore and reach them? Well maybe not you Dennis but someone skilled in shore casting..  |
 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

I need to fish pretty bad i guess. As soon as i read that the thought crossed my mind to head down and do some plugging. |
Everything is better on the rocks.

Phil, I can't cast more than 25 yards with a stiff wind at my back. With the way my Tuna skills are going, I don't think I could even net them!!!  |

Tuna are federally regulated not by individual states, not legal to keep netted tuna... |

how about throwing 500 lb tuna overboard?
Ask the longliners. They do it all day. 50 metric tons of discards. |

This use to happen on an annual basis years back, I remember reports of seeing giants very close to the shore in RI/BI sound in the late late fall. Not this late but given the warmth, it is not all that crazy.
This winter you could have stayed in all year. If I had a dock, I would just get a bubbler and keep her in year round.
